Honeywell - Miller Product Inspection Guide

WEB LANYARDS INSPECTION GUIDELINES Webbing Grasp the webbing with your hands and bend the webbing, checking both sides. This creates surface tension making damaged fibers or cuts easier to see. Webbing damage may not show up through a sight (visual) inspection only – manual (touch) inspection of the lanyard is equally important.
